Set privately on the Channel of Twin Lakes, Lake Washinee, the custom designed home offers the best of a country and lake home. The Channel connects to the lake, making S-turns around the land and offering quiet, privacy while accessing the lake. The three bedroom home was designed and built in 1999, thoughtfully with an open layout. Enter from the covered porch into the great room, with its cathedral ceilings, maple floors, wood burning fireplace and views overlooking the Channel. A well laid out kitchen with large pantry and ample counter space is perfect for entertaining. The bedroom wing offers three unique rooms; first the master with en-suite bath and doors out to the yard and fire pit area. One guest bedroom has a window seat looking out at the water and the other offers a very cool loft area, that any child would love! Spiral stairs in the great room lead up to an office with built-in bookshelves or additional guest space. The lower level recreation area has a full bath/laundry room, a game room with fireplace and lots of storage. Outside, there is a large storage shed/garage, sandy beach with a “boat-house” and dock and then down a meandering stone path surrounded by wild flowers, a separate covered dock. Watch the Eagles, Otters and huge variety of wild life from the porch or venture out on the lake for water skiing or superb year-round fishing. The nearby Berkshires offer skiing, summer theatre and Tanglewood, making this an exceptional country getaway.

Set on the Channel of Twin Lakes, Lake Washinee, the custom designed home offers the best of a country and a lake home. The Channel is like a slow river that connects to the lake, making S-turns around the land and offering quiet, privacy while accessing the lake.

Enter from the covered porch into the great room, with its cathedral ceilings, maple floors, wood burning fireplace and views overlooking the water.
